Absolutly agree with this.
I've not read the book so I don't know of the look and/or portrayal of Pennywise was meant to be in the exact same mould, but it always felt off. It never really felt like Pennywise had an intimidating presence, beyond that of his monster capabilities. I think what made Currie's Pennywise memorable was that juxtaposition of Pennywise as the clown. He could appear fun and friendly, and then somewhat creepy and chilling too.
I felt that was lacking. All Skarsgård seemed to offer was the use of silly faces.
